    1/32 is the lightest I tend to ever go and it looks like it’s handling that quite well. I like it. 👍 Nice job showing us a number of lure weights and how it handles them.

    • @rawrfishing

      I think 1/32 is easy since I can do the trout mag at 0.78g! Potentially improvements with ceramic hybrid micros in it

    I wonder if the inductor cup set to I (lowest) would have made a difference with the fly jig and trout magnet. Thanks for cast testing the Gravity BFS.

    • @rawrfishing
      @rawrfishing  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think it would have helped controlled the lowest weighted lures as it allows fine tuning, but level 1 brakes doesn't move much, which means it can take a while to dial it in and potentially need more tuning if the conditions changes.
      It was fun using this reel!

      The path Shimano went with 28mm spool and the braking and the silent tune made bfs meh.. Even the 23 Conquest BFS is not as great.
      Ark Gravity bfs reel is the best 28mm spool reel out of the box for the price!

    Hello! What you can say about this Tsurinoya Clever rod? I want to take one, but so little information about it in web...How about sensivity of this rod? Can it cast 2.0 gr crank good?
    Maybe you can compare it with some rods from Major craft, or Tailwalk? After all, what your impression about it? Thanks!

    • @rawrfishing
      @rawrfishing  ปีที่แล้ว

      This is a new rod to me! Liking it so far, but I don't throw cranks, but I feel that this cast testing session should have given you plenty of insight on how the rod would cast.
      Been sick and haven't been able to really go out to fish this rod. But it will be my stream rod for trout. I have purchased a major craft trapara and will likely compare sometime in spring. Just trying get better before the holidays right now.

    • @rawrfishing
      @rawrfishing  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Glad you like it. I don't know the bearing size right now, but if I do upgrade, I will find out! But I don't intend to upgrade for a while since holiday is here and I got a lot of backed up videos cuz I'm sick lol... But do know that these are small bearings already and unless u need to do sub 1 gram.. U shouldn't change to micro ceramic hybrid bearings. It's not needed ;)

      oh that is an easy one to answer.. Spinning rods can't work with baitcasting reels, so it's not better at all! :P
      okay okay, i know what you are asking... but to answer you, it is Subjective. spinning truthfully isn't better. If you put all the pros and cons on the table, casting setups wins all the time, but depending on your fishery and style, you may have to pick one over the other. I have chosen BFS and casting for pretty much 99% of my fishing.
      Do what works for you, or see what these bait finesse setups can do and try one!

      I think when you hear ppl say their reels are performing better... that is because it surely is performing better, for their fishing, not yours. There is for sure a "misconception" (Don't think you meant to use the word myth) of what changing out bearings would do. I think if you don't understand the pros and cons before you make a change, you obviously would not be disappointed. Proper research before buying would save you money and also time. It also prevents spreading wrong messages such as proclaiming ceramic bearings is a myth.
